Version: 26.7.7.1

What does this implement/fix?

Same Stable/Beta firmware switching as CAST-1 (naming per ApolloAutomation/CAST-1#43):

  • Firmware Channel select (Stable/Beta) sets the OTA manifest URL via a new apply_ota_source script. Stable = GitHub Pages (main branch builds), Beta = rolling beta pre-release assets. Each image tracks its own variant's manifests through a build-time ble_firmware substitution; there is no user-facing variant switching.
  • Firmware Update button force-installs the selected channel's firmware. It re-applies the manifest URL first (so a just-switched channel is fetched before forcing) and temporarily disables BLE during the download to free heap for TLS (no-op on non-BLE images).
  • build-beta.yml (new): pushes to beta build the end-user images and publish them to a rolling beta pre-release, with manifests rewritten to absolute URLs and bins prefixed per variant.
  • Updates now serve the end-user image: CI builds MSR-2.yaml as firmware/ and moves the Factory image to firmware-factory/, which only the web installer uses. On their next update, fielded devices leave the Factory image, drop improv BLE, and reclaim flash.

All three variants config-validated on ESPHome 2026.6.4. Not yet tested on hardware.

Warning

Review limit reached

@bharvey88, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 59 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Same Stable/Beta channel switching as CAST-1 (ApolloAutomation/CAST-1#43
naming):

- Firmware Channel select (Stable/Beta) sets the OTA manifest URL via a
  new apply_ota_source script; each image tracks its own variant's
  manifests through the ble_firmware substitution.
- Firmware Update button force-installs the selected channel's firmware.
- build-beta.yml publishes beta builds to a rolling beta pre-release.
- build.yml now builds MSR-2.yaml as firmware/ so updates serve the
  end-user image; the Factory image moves to firmware-factory/ for the
  web installer only.

Beta-channel builds compile thin beta-channel/ wrapper yamls so the
Firmware Channel select defaults to Beta on firmware obtained from the
beta channel (fresh flashes only; stored choices still win).

Superseded by #80. MSR-1 shipped the unified redesign as 26.7.9.1 (one image per channel, runtime Bluetooth Proxy switch, no ble_firmware selector / manifest guard), so the two-image channel architecture here is retired before it merged. #80 carries the same beta pipeline plus the http_request buffer fixes this branch predates.
